Today we're going to dive into the topic of taking action in the present moment, finding what you truly want, and never giving up until you get it. Are you tired of living life on autopilot, going through the motions, and feeling like you're stuck in a rut? Well, it's time to shake things up and make a change! The key to unlocking your full potential and reaching your goals is taking action. And, no, I don't mean just any old action, I mean purposeful, calculated, and relentless action. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Nolan, how do I even begin to figure out what I truly want?" The answer is simple, get quiet, get introspective and ask yourself some tough questions. What makes you come alive? What makes you lose track of time? What do you find yourself thinking about even when you're not actively engaged in it? Once you have a solid understanding of what it is you want, it's time to take action. But, before you go all gung-ho and start charging ahead, I want to emphasize the importance of a solid plan. A goal without a plan is just a wish, and we're not here to make wishes, we're here to make things happen. If you want to make your dreams a reality, it's time to take action
